A model for selection and optimal allocation to suppliers under fuzzy conditions

In this research, a model for the selection of suppliers to achieve optimal order allocation under fuzzy conditions is studied. For this purpose, Delphi method, Fuzzy AHP and linear programming technique were used. In the first part, the library method was utilized to identify the criteria affectin...

In this regard, previous studies were scrutinized and the relevant criteria were extracted. In the second part, by using the Delphi method, the criteria recognized in the previous section were distributed among experts and were either approved or rejected.

According to results obtained from the Delphi method, four criteria of cost, delay in delivery, quality, and technology have been selected in that order as the most important criteria to rank suppliers of Saipa Company. Based on the results gained from the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process method, the weights for supplier selection criteria were chosen as follows: Technology criterion 0.28, cost criterion 0.25, delay in delivery criterion 0.24, and quality criterion 0.23. 2015-02 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/6224/ http://library.mmu.edu.my/diglib/onlinedb/dig_lib.php masters Multimedia University Graduate School of Management
